what was ambassador stevens doing in benghazi and why not in tripoli, the capital? guest: i do not know the answers, and we will need a full incident investigation to know the answers to those questions. what i know is that the vast bulk of the libyan population appreciates with united states and nato did in protecting benghazi from the homicidal instincts of moammar gaddafi. no question about that. libyans will try to stop on the streets and hug you if you are an american. this does not happen in a lot of places. i have had it happen repeatedly. but, at the same time, we have had a series of incidents -- an attack on the red cross, an attack on the british ambassador in benghazi over recent months. the fact that there was risks in benghazi, where there is discontent is dishonest extremists, should not have been a big surprise to anyone. i am hearing that there were no specific warnings in advance of this attack, but i really do think we have to wait for a full investigation before we make a judgment on these issues. host: "wall street journal" editorial this mornin

ambassador, chris stevens, and the attack on our consulate in benghazi? guest: there are really two points we should take away from what's going on in libya. the first is the response to the libyan government and in this case the libyan people actually attacking the terroristis are really quite encouraging, very different from the egyptian response, of course, again. the egyptian government did not denounce the attacks until a couple of days later when it was under pressure, the ruling party called for new protests in libya, very different, immediate denunciation of the attacks, the need to step up the deal esp confrontation with militants. but the second thing we have to remember about libya, this is still an instance in which a different kind of, you know, unofficial response, that is, you know, to put it mildly, a different kind of mob response, one that we like, one that was very much antiterrorist was used to fight the terrorists, and that suggests that the libyan government is still a very, very weak, its domestic police force is still very weak, so
